! NOVEMBER 2016 Walking Challenge !

AlphaHowls · October 2016

*!* NOVEMBER 2016 Walking Challenge *!*

This is continued from previous Monthly Walking Challenges, we are walking into the 11th month of the year

YAY

Keep going!*. Each month has its own thread.

**** Anyone can join in at any time. The more the merrier, let’s keep each other motivated ****

Walking seems like the easiest way to start getting exercise, and even if you cannot track distance (or do not want to), tracking time is good too...go for a 10 min walk after dinner, or up it to 30 minutes, you will be amazed at the end of the month how much more exercise you are getting in.

Come back here and just post how far you walked, even if it was to the mailbox on a given day. The important thing is that you are moving and getting out (or if you walked in place in your basement to a video). Sometimes we need a little encouragement in order to do things in life.

Check in everyday with how far you walked or how long. This is just to motivate us to get in at least some exercise every day, and keep an eye on each other. Remember, you can track by steps, distance (miles or kilometers), time, etc.

RULES:

*no bullying
*no pressure
*just walking, dancing, stepping, hiking, anything to get you moving.
*just lace up the shoes and take a walk!
*anyone can join in at any time.

Frequently Asked:

Is there a way to flag this thread or do we have to search for it every time?

There is a star in the corner (right) you can click that to favorite the topic. It will always be on the right when you enter the community area. You can click the star once back in the forums and it shows you the topic you starred.

Can I join? How do I join the challenge?

Really simple, just come back here and post/tell us about your walk experience in any form you wish! *anyone can join in at any time*

So awesome to see everyone!!!! Fantastic goals!

Yes, I need to make sure I am hitting green everyday as well with my fitbit.

mamaomefo · October 2016

Would like to join in this challenge. My goal is 10,000 steps a day with Fitbit tracking me! I may list miles or steps though. Let's win

joans1976 · October 2016

Scared but gonna do this! I get anywhere from 2500 to 6500 steps in a day.
Can anyone suggest a goal for me? I would like to go by steps not distance or time.
Thank you in advance for your help!

I would say a goal of 5k a day. Just something that would challenge you to get a minimum number of steps in. Good luck!

jewelgal77 · October 2016

janemartin88 · October 2016

Count me in...fitbit charged and it's going to buzz for at least 10,000 every day in November

Thank you! That was what I was thinking too!
That's what I'm gonna aim for!
Sometimes I just need a little nudge.

AlphaHowls · October 2016

This is so groovy to see everyone! We are going to have an awesome month!!!!

MaGrl523 · October 2016

I need this! I need to start getting 10K steps a day. I have a stress test (and am already on high blood pressure meds) on Tuesday and at 35 that's a big issue!!
